About
Land of the long white cloud - that’s what the Māori call their country, and Aoraki, the 3,754-metre-high peak, is known as “Cloud Piercer” to the cosmopolitan Kiwis. The Cook Strait separates the warmer North Island from the cooler South Island - both which are of tectonic and volcanic origin. Evergreen forests, alpine regions, rugged coastlines, volcanic craters and fjords, geysers and hot springs, glacial rivers and wine regions form the backdrop for your journey into nature. Follow in the footsteps of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, take the Classic Wine Trail, the legendary Mail Cruise, or simply hike the Great Walks, the choice is yours.
